Incorrectamundo. I live in a place where this has been the law for years, and it is very noticeable in rush hour traffic how many fewer issues there are. Not just the close calls and various moronic traffic maneuvers, but also the simple efficiency of rush hour traffic actually moving much better instead of being held up by people taking their time because they'd rather talk or crackberry than drive.
I was bad for yakking on the phone and reading email while driving when I lived in Calgary, seeing the difference in person has made me a convert.

Or, I would approve of cops that want to work overtime, driving around in their own cars and wearing street clothes, radioing in the plates of people they see driving like f-tards, and the nearest marked cruiser can pull them over, and the off duty cop could be the witness.

What they do here is set up a little processing station on a sidestreet where traffic gets backed up on a main drag, and then watch for phones and wave people into it. Unfortunately they also nab lane-splitters like me that way.
